Default Installed My New Hood Liner tonight....





I saw photos in another thread where a forum member installed a hood liner from http://www.carmotorsports.com/admin.php and I really like it, so I ordered one immediately. For what it is they sure got it ready and shipped it fast.

I did screw up during the install and lost of the "plugs" somewhere in my engine bay......oops. Luckily I was able to reuse on of the old ones. Felt like a dumbass though.

In the photos you can see a before, during and writing I found on my hood under the hood liner.

Nice finish to your under-hood look, and helps to emphasize the red accent pieces you have!

Awesome engine bay but I would buy a cover for the "ugly" alternator.

I've gone back and forth on that. I want the engine bay to still look like an engine bay-not a pile of plastic.

Thanks ALL

Looks even cleaner with the new hood liner even though it's spotless under your hood. Nice touch.

You could just paint the alternator in place. Pretty easy job.
